"I Can Still Make Cheyenne (Trucker Version)"- Brad James 

I am a 20+ year asphalt veteran. My wife left me 10 years ago. Been single ever since, this song hits home hard.

I'm a truck drivers wife..I've also worked as a dispatcher and have witnessed marriages shred over a payphone in our lobby..the pain is real..both ways. It takes a hell of a woman/man to live this life. The strongest support a driver has is his co-pilot at home.. love and support your drivers people.. it's not a game....

Listen ladies I know being a truck drivers wife is hard. I live it every day and it's even harder when you have children. But if you love your trucker stand beside him no matter how hard it is. What has gotten me through is listening to gospel music and reading my bible. I know what I do is not for everyone but if that man didn't love you then he wouldn't be out there risking his life on that road to make sure your bills are paid and you have food on the table. Stand beside your man and be strong for him.

Sometimes that cab is the loneliest place on Earth. Sincerely Brad, thanks for the tear.

This makes me wanna cry! I unfortunately was selfish thinking being with a truck driver was too hard when you got little ones at home. But over years of being apart and the children got older, I realized no matter what I still love my truck driver. We got back together and we are happy. It ironically took me to get my CDL to realize you guys work hard and need a great deal of patience yourself.

My wife told me to chose her or the truck. I chose wrong, man I miss that truck.

Being a former trucker. I can just picture me being outside of Denver making that telephone call and saying "It's alright baby if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne" and then turning that truck to that Wyoming line

Being a truck drivers wife is tuff but I don't think I'd change him for anyone he's my soulmate ❤️

I was an OTR driver for quite awhile until one day i came home for my hometime and the wife said.."Oh by the way, You have a drive test on Sunday" She found me local driving job so i wouldn't have to be gone.

Listen to your songs a lot. Some make me laugh, some make me miss my trucker even more, some bring tears, while others bring smiles but they are all great! Been a truckers wife for 23 years and he has been driving for 35. It is a hard life on both sides and takes two strong trusting people to survive it. I cannot imagine a driver calling home and being told this but know it happens and too often. I raised our kids and became a fix it all person while he earned a living and missed so much with them and me. I know he has it a lot harder OTR inside that truck with nothing but the radio and putting up with all that goes with the job. We spend a lot of time on the phone. I spend a lot of nights on the phone all night while he drives to keep him company. I love when he comes home and immediately start dreading leaving time. I never know if it will be the last time I get to hold him and tell him I love him when he climbs in that truck and drives away. It is a very hard and lonely life and even more so for me now that the kids are grown and gone. I look forward to the day he can walk through that door and tell me hung the keys up for the last time! Until then I will keep the home fires burning and wait for home time. Fully support your driver! It is not a life for whiners! Be willing to give your all and then some for your driver.

things that come to mind when i hear this: While on the road my wife has ended up in the emergency room, my dog of 12 years died and i didnt get to say good by, my mother in law died and my wife was home alone to deal with it, my son cant stand me and thinks a trucker is a low class life, and many other things happened that i should of been home to deal with...but the bills need paying. my wife wants a nice house, my kid wants a nice car and nice things..... so here i am running the roads..... were else can someone with my skill level bring 50k a year home after all taxes and expenses? working 2 weeks out the month? but they still complain.... I can relate to this song.

I can’t believe I haven’t heard this version before, this made me bawl my eyes out. I love my trucker with all my soul and I support him through every while he’s away. Please call your drivers, reassure them and love them. If you love them you wouldn’t leave them. You’d be there 🥺❤️

I usually dont like when people redo classic songs but this guy hit the nail on the head my hats off to you you done a great job

Love the songs! I am a trucker and almost lost my life in Arizona because of a 4 wheeler! Keep trucking and singing!

I love my truck driver. Being a truck drivers wife takes a strong woman even stronger when you have kids. If you don't think you can handle your man being gone all the time then this is not the life for you. It's takes a strong man to leave his family and even stronger woman to stand beside him. Jarvis Combs I love you more then words could ever describe. Thank you for everything you do for us. Always know this woman is here waiting on you. I'm yours and only yours.

Make an album of all the truck songs I'd pay 15 bucks for it and I know a few other drivers who would why not one of our own rich

Well done to all the truck drivers male and female world wide you do a great job stay safe and well done 👏 ❤.keep trucken.

I have been driving for 33 years, got married and had kids later in life. Two years ago my wife said she wanted a divorce, after 25 years. Last year she basically left the kids. Thank God for a wonderful sister in law, I could not make a living without her. Be a trucking family is tough.

I like the way he turned it into a truck driving song. I'm a son and nefew to 2 retired long haul trucker. Though I never drove a 18 wheeler I do have a great deal of respect for the men and women that drive them. I did at times drive a NON-CDL 26ft International Durostar box truck.. loved it. Too bad I had to give it back to Pensky Truck Rentals. Lol

I am a truck drivers wife of 26 years and for the first 6 years I was a rider but if you can’t beat ‘em join em and that’s what I did and I now have been a team driver for the last 23 years with my husband we have good and bad days but to be together is what is was all about I love that man with my every being and glad we made that choice together

I just started my truck driving job and i thank god everyday that i have a very loving wife that understands my passion for truck driving and she fully supports me thank you baby i love you and the kids with all my heart

I played this CD until I wore it out back in the day. Good stuff! Good memories!

This man, Brad James, is TOTALLY AMAZING!! My husband is a long-haul truck driver & I LOVE this music, and so does my husband. THANK YOU BRAD JAMES. ☺☺🇺🇸

I worked for star Transport out of Morton Illinois and I was talking to a fellow driver who said trucking saved his marriage because he's gone all the time. I didnt have the heart to tell him his wife was sleeping around while he was gone. It's sad that theres people that's blind to see the real reason but when they tell there story the other person sees what's going on behind closed doors before they can.

If you haven't lived this" you won't understand it " for those of us who have We have paid a hell of a price . 43 yrs and still going and I don't know why.

Boy has this hit home...the love of my life found someone new as well,and he was no trucker...i was told over the phone by her sister..that was the hardest thing i ever had to go through but at least i had my dog and .y family on the road so i just keep driving..what else can i do...

Great job Brad!!! You would make King George proud.

Im not a trucker but my father was and a good friend of ours was as well so i know and appreciate what you concrete cowboys do every day. As Merle Haggard said " the white line is the lifeline the nation".

God bless our women many have been to hell and back but stayed with her man, 44 years now retired she lived through it all, I was a rambler all my life and it takes a special woman to stick, she took many trips with me over the years.

Well, I'm a trucker...home every night and faithful. My first wife cheated on me and the third time was what I needed to divorce her. I remarried and after three years and a daughter she cheated on me as well. I suppose it must be me. I am still with her and now two daughters. Life has some heavy emotional beatings and I got some nice scars but I have two little girls who need their pops so I will do my best and give my all till the end I suppose. I realize why you never hear from anyone after they die. I don't think I would want to come back either. You sing this song quite well Brad!

Amen brother...I've lived thru this song.....she's long gone, but im still trucking!

I guess this song hits home hard. 3 years of my trucking life I was married. He was my co driver for so long but he didn't want to do it anymore, he wanted everything and a 40 hour job wasn't going to pay the bills and what he wanted so I wanted back out on the road, he didn't we ended up divorcing because this is my life, it takes someone special to do this job. So now I'm out on the road alone with my dog.

I whent out on the rd. With my son Jimmy King you all have a very hard job people just would not no love your songs .

I have been trucking for the past fifteen years. I used to do 400 to 600 a day and still made it home every night. It gave me to much time to be alone with my thoughts so I went on to do local P&D. I'm still gone from home about fourteen hours a day but it's easier on me.. "well kinda" Your songs about the road really touch home.. I'm glad to have a great woman that stands by me while I do what I love.. My son is twenty now and over seas serving our country.. Hated missing so much with him while I drove.. Like I said.. Your songs or the way you sing them just lets me know how lucky I am.. Thanks. If you are ever passing through N.C. send a message and I will buy you a beer or coffee. I 95 is ten miles away..

Have a beautiful voice.

nice! another brother trucker singin' awesome country music, thank you for share with us

I drove truck all my life and I was not the husband or dad that I should’ve been. I’m divorced and so much I can see that I did wrong, I regret most everything but all I can say is that I still have my daughters love and support and that is more important than anything to me at this time in my life. I wish things were different but there not.

Memories of when I was OTR. I lost my wife and kids do to my job.

This brings back many memories of my lone days out on the big road as a owner op. Late night rides listening to a driver singing into the cb. Your voice is soothing.

Just got diagnosed stage 4 liver failure and cdl class A is over and turned in company truck today 💔😢

I recently got back on the OTR long haul and have not been home for a month. I have a girlfriend that I love alot and this song just made me cry. I hope this does not happen to me or anyone else. I love my girlfriend more than anything but driving is the only career I have left. Prayers and wishes go out to all drivers and their families

Came home to an empty house once, the struggle is real!!! But it's a lifestyle , a habit.

Love this ❤️ February 8 2020

I love this version! I play it all the time and my fiance says that sounds like us. Couple months ago it was us. He said me or the job, I basically told him I can still make Laredo. It's a rough life some days and it takes special people to do the job and to stay at home while their loved one is doing the job. Thankfully my fiance and I patched things up, but we both know the threat is still there.

I was blessed to have married a very strong and independent lady some 48 years ago! She dealt with 6-8 months deployments in the U.S. Navy for 22 years and then 25 years of my driving over the road!! It takes a very special lady to live the life of a Navy and truck driver's wife!! I love Honey!!

I'm a local driver now. On wife #2 But back when I was younger pht. I've been singing this song for a looonnnggg time.

You've given me so much inspiration as a truck driver. I went otr about a year ago and it was one of the scariest things I've ever done. I left my daughter and wife home to chase this dream and ur videos have kept me right during this time.

Somewhere between Tom T. Hall and Conway Twitty. Awesome my friend. I've never been more sure of anything. You, sir are going to be a star!

You got that rt. You all have the hardest job on earth I road with my son JIMMY king rough job no one would no unless they rode with a trucker I feel for them we better thank them everyday

Awww I was listening to the George straight version when I was driving truck in Wyoming... Really got me emotional!

Awesome 👍🙏❤️😇

Love it! I half expected my wife to tell me that every time I called home

My Grandpa drove a truck my dad drove a truck my husband drives a truck i changed the words using the ones that you do years ago thanks for a great song

If ever they make a new Smokey and the bandit movie, we already know the part you deserve. Keep on trucking brother.

My dad is truck driver. You guys have the heard in world. My dad is hero. If you don't get work long hours nobody would n't have food or clothes and everything else .

Oh this is one song that is so sad..I am a retired trucker & I can say one thing.I still miss my big truck, but I'll be settin right here waitin faithfully for my truck drivin hubby to retire & to come home.. as the sayin goes..takes a special breed to be a trucker but also takes a special breed to make a couple work in the profession..keep singin..loved it..

Hoss that was pretty good! I think old George Strait would be proud! Keep up the great work! !!!

Thank you for your amazing music 🎶 and God bless you Amen 🙏❤️

O the feels on this is more then george straits and im not a trucker or trucker wife but my hibby works 16 to 18hr days and he on the rd late at night those calls are calls noone should recieve or sleep worried what those calls will bring. Im literally crying on this version! Hope someone recongizes your talents gets yourself an album. Amazing cover

That is how the song should have been song and written the first time. One hell of a talent Mr James

This my friends is as close to “ truth in media” as you’ll ever get. 15 yr vet speaking from experience here

Just the emotions of the original song is rough. But you put it together beautifully. Can't count the times i as a lady trucker was told he'll be long gone. Thank you Brad.

God bless y'all Truckers and thank you for your sacrifice🇺🇸

I don't drive trucks but I run a scale house at a plant in Texas and I've met a lot of drivers in the years I've been here. Many of the guys I meet talk about being away too long and looking forward to a long break at home, so this version of the song struck a cord with me. Great voice and stay safe on the road. 👍

God this songs hits so deep and can't imagine trucking back in my dad's time when you had to find a payphone just to make a call but even with cell phones nowadays and being able to video chat is just as bad in my opinion, you get to hear and see your love ones but not able to be with them is what hurts the most. I've been through countless girlfriends & a few wife's and I'm not even in my thirties but thankfully I've not had kids and put them through barely seeing them and being raised by there mom.

Trucker has one of the hardest jobs anyone could have I road. With my son Jimmy King for two wks. And stayed tried few for them truckers and the ones who rides with thrm

I'm a single driver. I do specialty contract work and live on the road. The only women I have who understand my lifestyle are married. Good job on this cover. Sounds great.

BEST version I have heard a quality Country Voice

We miss you Brad!

My brother who just become a truck driver this year. Growing up he also wanted to drive the big rigs. Thank you Taz for sharing this with me.

that song hits home Brother..

Beautifully done driver.....C'mon back...

On day 71 away from the house. 6 more days....the best advice I can give to anyone is before you get in that cab and start a 40 year career, weigh all your options and pick something else. God bless all you drivers out there, without you everything would grind to halt. Godspeed in your journeys drivers.

I have been s truck driver for 35 years stiil driveing till the fay ots my passion born to do it thanks

I just found this song. I know a lot of drivers that this is way to real! Fortunately for me my wife hung in there. I retired 4 years ago now and I think there are days that she wants me gone! LOL

I was a truckers wife of 32 years. Yes it was hard but I knew he loved us and came home to me every chance he had. My loved passed 2 years ago and even after he retired he missed it. We drove together for 2 yrs

Makes me to pullover and hit a bar,men. Awesome voice buddy!!!

Beautiful remake. I know the feeling.

My ex-husband and I were on the road for 19 years and it was fantastic, and at least we were together.

He sings so beautiful and got a really hard job.

5* :) Thank you, Sir!! Truck safe out there!!

I 💜that song it's great thank ya for sharing reminds me of an old flame I 🖤'd from Cheyenne

I've been driving for some long hard years and this song hits you in heart.. deffinetly one of your best!

Wow. You shouldn't be driving trucks, you should be in the music biz. Great voice. Stay safe.

This was hard ,but true ,i was reading the comments, and my hat off to all the women on here , you see as soon as i got in a truck, well she left ... now all the kids are gone, and i relate to this song... great job

My husband is a long haul trucker and god is it hard him not being here with me but he dose it so we can live the life want but i miss him lile crazy especially at night

Just amazing, you're very talented. Nice to have songs that relate to our profession. -Brian

Wow what an amazing voice. Love the songs. I was a 3rd generation trucker until a bad accident took me out. I am married to a man who took over my job, he is 26 years invested, and now my 23 year old son decided to drive, he is 2 years in. It is not an easy life. However if you are willing to stick it out through the good times. Bad times, and everyday stresses you can make anything work. We have been married 30 years. The only thing I would have changed was the accident that took me off the road. I miss my old pete and the places I traveled, back when women were not really accepted to kindly. It never took my love of the road away from me. I sure do miss the bad coffee and late nights. I send a prayer every night to all the truckers out there trying to make a living and keep a hold on their families. Be safe out there and know that you are appreciated for every trailer you haul and every minute you put in to those long hauls, lonely nights, dangerous roads, and dealing with 4 wheel jerks. My oldest daughter is a state trooper for my state, and I call her the highway angel. She tends to look out for you truckers a little more when you're passing through Indiana because of me and our long line of truckers. God Bless each and everyone of you. May God be your co-pilot and you make it home to see you're families. Sincerely, Patty Finn.

Truckers be working some crazy ass hours/schedules. I did it for 2 yrs, it’s tougher than you think

Well, that phone came in , she didn’t bother to ask what was wrong , she just pointed that truck towards that Wyoming line , and if she hurries, she will make Cheyenne, by Christmas Day, cause that old trucker girl ain’t afraid of no Wyoming wind , ❤️

Dang near quit my job the other day. This song Hit like hell for me a few days ago. was sitting in Billings montana waiting for the truck to get fixed and got a call my dad ended up in the hospital. (Fyi he is doing way better). My girlfriend has a few mental health problems she is dealing with and Im unable to help her or be with my dad. I love the road but I am not loving this feeling. I got the truck fixed and was talking to my girlfriend and she asked where I was stopping. When I said if i hurry I can make Cheyenne it HIT and hit hard. I could not believe what I said and just the thought of her leaving hit bad. I love this version of The song Brad James, you Did wonderful on it

I was Road Driver 31 yrs. I come home & house was empty. But I was glad she was gone. I got my kids back away from her. So it was better things to happen to me. 11 yrs latter they Medicaly terminated me. I sure MISS TRUCK DRIVING.. Enjoy the Ride... Be Safe...

Damn good version!!!! Thank you!!!

I am speechless. What a job. Your awesome.

I'm a truck driver, have been since 2014, I used to do otr and it's ridiculous lonely, but now I do local and it's almost as hard even though you come home to your spouse everyday! Let's keep America moving!!

I just discovered this song ❤

Great job my father put 42 years out on the road .I been out on the road 35 years song makes me think of my dad I miss him gets lonesome out here love your music

I drove a truck for 33 years and due to health issues I had to retire in 2016. I had a great life on the road my wonderful wife of 30 years passed away in May of 2012 from cancer, it was a HUGE loss for me as well as our son and daughter but we made it. Had I had known what was coming I would have left the road alot sooner but you never know. She understood my life and was a great support. Brothers and Sisters on the road stay safe and remember to stay in touch with those you love.. God Speed, Dennis Shulaw aka: Graywolf.

Purely awesome , brought tears to my eyes

make an album, I love your voice
